Publisher's description of PrimoPDF 2
PrimoPDF is a free tool for high-quality PDF creation. PrimoPDF's user-friendly interface enables printing to PDF from virtually any Windows application. Additionally, PrimoPDF offers users the ability to optimize their PDF output for printing to standard laser printers or for onscreen viewing. The resultant PDF output conforms to the PDF specification and subsequently can be viewed with any PDF viewer software. The product is completely free--not just a trial--eliminating cost barriers for those users requiring basic creation of high-quality PDF files.
Version 2 features: Secure PDFs with 40-/128-bit encryption, allowing the highest level of security for your PDF files. Settings include password to open, password to change, disable printing, disable text/graphics copying, disable commenting, disable text editing, disable page addition. Add document information (title, author, subject, keywords) to converted PDF files, resulting in faster and easier searching of PDF doc.
Editor's review of PrimoPDF 2
4.0 stars
- "Turn any file into a PDF"
PrimoPDF 3 converts just about any file type to a PDF, using the source program the file was created with and its print command. The interface could be nicer; it's uncluttered but also uninteresting. Previous versions required the user to go through the Save As menu. The reason why the publisher changed it to Print isn't obvious. Regardless, the conversion process is quick and efficient. Other changes include a security feature, which allows the user to wrap the PDF in 40-bit or 128-bit encryption, and password protection. The user also can restrict editing of the new PDF, leaving comments and making other changes.
The program's size is surprisingly large for such an unobtrusive app, and it's absolutely necessary to launch the read-me file at the end of installation, since the application loads no icons and leaves no other visible traces on your machine, except in the Start menu's All Programs.
